Sometimes when you share a RebelMouse article to Twitter, it will render the tweet without a Card:

Tweets are usually accompanied by a Twitter Card, which features a preview image and rendered text like in the following example:

If you don't see a Twitter Card, we recommend double-checking the issue using Twitter's Card validator tool. After you paste in the URL to your post and perform a check, you'll likely see it come up as invalid because of a long response time, which means there's too much HTML:
